Hawkwrench Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Congrats on your son Pete. Nothing like being able to wear those airborne wings on your uniform. That's one of the top things I'm proud of completing while in the Army! Once Airborne, Always Airborne!!!

Pete Fleischmann Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 He’s at Bragg now, and this was a regular battalion jump that took all day with many sorties. I think about 700 soldiers jumped that day. cheers P Michael931080 and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you have never served in the infantry. No - I was not there when three crappy HUMVEEs morted in. Had I been there though, I would have been laughing just as hysterically.

It has notthing to do with the infantery, crapy HUMVEEs or deep pockets....... a proud father is posting a video with his son in it, and you post a similar video showing what could go wrong. In my onpinion thats misplaced. For your info.. I,m in active duty with the army for 20 years now. LSP_Matt and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete - say the word and I'll delete the post. Also - was this in jump school or is your son already in an airborne unit?

Military humor is pretty dark I'm glad there are a few who "get" military humor. I posted that video on another site a while back and was slammed by many because they felt it was completely disrespectful and unprofessional that those soldiers were laughing at the humvees burning in. I would have paid good money to be at that DZ and see that for myself, many LOL's would have been had. On the other hand, my wife came by when I was watching that video when it first came out to see what I was laughing about. She watched, told me there was something wrong with me and walked out of the room shaking her head. On a side note, a rigger in the 173rd went to jail over that stunt. SMH... Safe travels (and landings) to your son. Edited December 18, 2021 by John1 Pete Fleischmann, D.B. Andrus and Martinnfb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
